The information contained in this groundbreaking article applies to at least 75 percent of people who are struggling to lose weight. It is a major factor contributing to the fatigue associated with being overweight and having symptoms of hypothyroid. It involves new discoveries regarding iron metabolism and explains why even if you eat plenty of iron you may still have rather dramatic iron deficiency issues, which handicap your metabolism and thyroid function.
Traditional thinking about iron is that either you get enough in your diet or you don't. People who don't eat red meat, menstruating women, those who exercise a lot, and those with digestive bleeding or other blood loss issues are at risk for iron deficiency, and either functional or blatant anemia. In general, iron deficiency is thought to be associated with undernutrition or malnourished states.
Hepcidin is a hormone produced in your liver, discovered in the year 2000. Scientists have discovered that it regulates iron use throughout your body (iron homeostasis). One of the ways hepcidin regulates your iron status is by deciding how much iron to let in to your body. In essence it communicates directly to the cells of your digestive tract, either allowing them or not allowing them to let iron in. High levels of hepcidin reduce or prevent dietary iron intake into your body, regardless of the iron content of your food.
It is now clear that hepcidin levels elevate in response to inflammation. This could be from inflammation of any type: infection, toxin exposure, excess alcohol, many medications, injury, excess exercise, lack of sleep, too much stress, etc. In this regard, being overweight is an ongoing inflammatory problem wherein your extra pounds of white adipose tissue crank out inflammatory signals 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, as if someone will not stop yelling at you. The more excess weight you have, the higher the inflammation (in addition to all other potential sources of inflammation).
Iron is utterly indispensable to your metabolism and survival. For example, mice that are genetically bred to have high levels of hepcidin die within a few days from iron deficiency. Iron is need for growth, repair, assembly of proteins into your body structures, the function of your nerves, and much more.
On the other hand, iron is highly reactive. Your body literally keeps it in cages like ferritin, kind of like a lion at the zoo. When it is needed, the lion is let out at the proper place and time so that it can do something useful. If the cage is opened at the wrong time or place then iron can jump out and set off free radical chain reactions that can be very damaging to health. It appears that hepcidin intentionally reduces iron intake during times of inflammatory stress to prevent the inflammation from damaging iron transport and storage systems (causing inappropriate iron release). In other words, if your body is in a state of inflammatory wear and tear it may be difficult to use iron in a healthy way.
This would offer excellent survival features for short term inflammatory distress that are threats to survival. However, a chronically inflamed person, as from obesity, can develop a real catch-22 wherein hepcidin is elevated for too long, which creates a scenario of ongoing iron deficiency, either functional (meaning not enough iron for metabolism to function well) or blatant (meaning anemia).
A new study details the dire metabolic consequences of having low iron. It shows that low iron turns on genes in your liver and muscles that promote fat storage and cause abnormal elevation of blood sugar – exactly what goes wrong with metabolism that leads to the metabolic syndrome.
The consequence to thyroid metabolism is twofold. First, the inactive thyroid hormone,T4, is converted to the biologically active hormone,T3, mostly on cell membranes of liver cells. Hepcidin is made in your liver and is being produced excessively in response to high inflammation. Such inflammation will also damage liver cell membranes, thus reducing the conversion of T4 to T3. This is one main reason why inflammation of any type disturbs thyroid function.
Second, when biologically active thyroid, T3, binds on to cell membranes and communicates to the nucleus of your cells how fast their metabolic pace should be set, it is like a hormone manager giving an order to a cell factory. The worker bees in the cell factory then need iron for the genes that will implement the thyroid order. In fact, the next 80 metabolic genes responding to a thyroid order all need iron. If iron is lacking metabolism simply cannot run at an optimal pace, which will give a person all the symptoms of hypothyroid even if they have normal T4 and normal T3.
Adequate iron intake (red meat) compared to obvious iron loss (menstrual cycles, etc.) is still important to understand. However, this new data says that a condition of less inflammation must exist in order for iron to work properly in your body.
The most basic approach is to follow The Leptin Diet, which is anti-inflammatory. As you begin to lose weight you are now reducing inflammation, hepcidin levels should come down, and the iron in your diet will work better. If you have little iron in your diet, then you should take a high quality iron supplement. I like iron glycinate, a true protein chelate of iron. I would stay away from all cheap iron salts, such as ferrous sulfate (these cause free radical damage).
In reality there are many basic supplements that are fundamental to metabolism along with a good diet, as I have outlined in The Leptin Diet Weight Loss Challenge #1 – Overview and Basic Needs. All of these are important to contribute to anti-inflammatory basic nutrition. Based on the new information in this article, it is accurate to say that ensuring you have adequate iron intake should be added to this basic list of nutrient needs for weight loss, especially in conjunction with basic anti-inflammatory nutrition.
A more comprehensive approach to this specific issue is to take an iron supplement as a trial to see if it helps your energy. Additionally, fat-soluble antioxidants that are targeted to improve liver function would be top choices. My top recommendations would be acetyl-l-carnitine, coenzyme Q10, tocotrienol E, r-alpha lipoic acid, and silymarin. Many other anti-inflammatory nutrients may also be of value. Your bottom line is to get enough support to engage the process of weight loss, maintain steady progress, have a much better energy level, and on a blood test your hemoglobin and hematocrit should be in the middle of the normal range.
Your body handles iron as a top priority, since it is vital to survival as well as being potentially problematic. Iron is essential for metabolism to run properly, including normal thyroid activation and cellular function. The inflammation of obesity is elevating a hormone called hepcidin, which has the unfortunate side effect of disrupting iron metabolism in your body. This mechanism helps you overcome short term inflammation and was very handy in olden times for survival purposes. In modern times, especially in a population of overweight people who often have Candida issues, it can viciously lock in place malfunctioning metabolism. Solving the problem requires adequate iron intake along with a reduction in inflammation. Reducing life stress helps. Sleeping better helps. Following The Leptin Diet helps. Many dietary supplements can also help reduce inflammation. Especially important may be the fat-soluble antioxidants that help reduce liver inflammation, the place of hepcidin synthesis. Use enough support to feel a difference in your energy level while engaging and sustaining the process of healthy weight loss. There is a path to a healthier you!

CEO LaMara Hunter
LaMara Hunter has been covering the music scene as a writer for years. Now she starts a new chapter of her entertainment career by joining forces with her fiancee to found Hunter Kelly Entertainment & Consulting. The Atlanta-based entrepreneur talks to Lioness today about working behind the scenes, juggling a large family and making time to follow her dreams.
Your Name: LaMara Hunter
Name of your company: Hunter Kelly Entertainment & Consulting
City/State/Country: Atlanta, GA, USA by way of Springfield, MA
What year was your company founded: 2014
Number of employees: 2
What do you do? Hunter Kelly Entertainment & Consulting (HKEC) is a professional entertainment management and consulting firm that specializes in event planning, branding and talent development with a diversity of skills aimed at servicing our unique clients. HKEC is designed to help those ready to begin a successful career in the entertainment industry and I help them to get aligned with their destiny by reaching their goals.
Tell us a little about your background in entertainment? Well, I've always had a passion to entertain. Growing up, I always wanted to become a singer and actress. I would write songs and record them on tapes using instrumentals from cassette singles. My first group was called T.L.C. (before the Atlanta based group ever came out) T.L.C. stood for Tender Loving Care, (lol). We would sing all of En Vogue and Xscape's songs. I also would write plays and movies scripts, put them together and get people to act them out. We would shoot music videos and the whole nine.
As I got older, in my early 20s I began to work with youth in ministry and we did plays, dance, music, etc. The arts is my passion! I started a magazine in 2005 call Y.E.S. magazine which stood for Youth Expressing Salvation. It was a Christian magazine where I taught young people everything they needed to know about interviewing, writing, graphics and editing. 2009, I began writing for Boston publication Total Eclipse magazine where I had the good fortune to travel the country and interview celebrities and musicians. It was a wonderful experience. Today, I work with those trying to break into the entertainment industry. My clients are musicians, artists, singers, actors, comedians, poets, motivational speakers. It is a blessing helping to develop and brand people and help prepare them for their destiny.
What makes your company unique? There are thousands of Marketing and Consulting firms, but what makes my company unique is the blend of two seasoned veterans in Entertainment, myself and Gerald Kelly. We bring very different backgrounds together, with a world of awesome connections. Experience meets Raw Talent. We have a passion to bring attention to those that have not yet been "discovered" to the lime light. It's a beautiful journey! It's a teaching opportunity and it's gift that we're willing to share with the world.
What are some of your specialties? Our services include consulting and management. We specialize in Event Planning where we create and produce high-quality events and entertainment programs in the New England, New York and Atlanta areas. We've been booking live entertainment professionally with proven success. From national and international headline performing artists and entertainers to local and regional acts. We provide the best talent available at the best price. Our talent resources include top comedians, musicians, artists and poets from across the country. HKEC has been a leader in the design and production of celebrity events featuring national "headline" talent, artists, and speakers since its inception. We do everything from venue selection, entertainment, and vendor relations, to event marketing and promotion. We also offer Event & Entertainment consulting services where we offer a wide array of interrelated consulting services targeted to specific realms within the special events and entertainment industry. These include: the management of Entertainment Programs, Performing Arts, Talent Development, and Branding & Social Media.
When we first met you, you were heavily steeped in music – writing articles about neo-soul and R&B artists. Was going into this company with your fiancée, well-known comedian Gerald Kelly a natural transition? Yes, it was very natural. As I mentioned before we came from two different backgrounds in entertainment. We both have seen the struggles of artists trying to "make it." We wanted to lend a helping hand in that area.
You're a mother and now you work in a family business. How do you make it all work? I am a mother of four, (my baby is 1, we named him Hunter Germar Kelly which is both our names intertwined as well as the name of our company) and a step-mom to 4. We're the modern day Brady Bunch! I am not the first mother with a business. No, it is not easy and it takes much sacrifice but it is truly worth it knowing that I can leave a legacy for our children. It is indeed a family affair. Each and everyone one of them are talented in the arts. We have singers, dancers, artists, models and comedians right here at home. It's about training them up and teaching them about life. Showing them how to maneuver in this world, because the entertainment industry is a very cold industry, it can break you down if you're not strong enough and focused. Keeping God first is the key and leading by example is what we strive to do. Loving and supporting one another is the glue that holds it all together!
Tell me about your upcoming initiative Microphones Up, Guns Down and why it was important for you and Gerald to host this? This initiative that Gerald and I are working on has been something that has been a long time coming. Gerald, the founder of Microphones Up Guns Down, wanted to do this for 10 years now. When we got together, we were able to put the pieces in place to make it a reality.
Gun violence is not something that is new, it's been plaguing our communities for many, many years. Watching it get to the point where it began to affect other communities is where the world wanted to take notice. We want to play our part in educating, encouraging and empowering our young people, because it starts with them. The bible says, "Train up a Child in the Way he should go and when he gets older, he will not depart from it." It takes a village to do that. We've gotten away from that.
With our movement, we want to ignite the gifts that young people have inside of them. Using the microphone as a tool to help build up their confidence and self-esteem; teaching them that their voice can be heard can go a long way with that. Giving our children the resources that they need to be successful in life is key. Showing them love, teaching them the correct way to resolve conflicts and how to positively express themselves is what these workshops and events are about and we have been asked to travel the US, bringing this important initiative to their town. Thanks to people like Russell Simmons and Tom Joyner for supporting our movement, it's gained a lot of recognition. The Huffington Post and other big publications, such as this have picked this up and spread the good news throughout our world that we live in, so thank you for being a part.
Where will Lamara be in 2015? Hmmm, LaMara Hunter aka Mara will be heading her way to the top of the entertainment industry. I want to learn everything there is to know about what I'm doing. You will see me step from behind the vail and move to the forefront. I plan to pick up some roles in acting (I've made up in my mind that I want to play the role of Mary J Blige in her story). I plan on singing in a live band and doing more great things with my company. More writing … I have a book that I'm working on that I plan to release at the end of 2015. So just stay tuned because the best is yet to come! People can always stay connected with me on social media and on my blog at www.MaraHunter.blogspot.com.

Lipce (deutscher Name: Liepz) ist ein Dorf in der polnischen Woiwodschaft Westpommern. Es gehört zur Landgemeinde Świdwin (Schivelbein) im Powiat Świdwin.

Geografische Lage
Lipce liegt sieben Kilometer südwestlich der Kreisstadt Świdwin und ist auf einer Nebenstraße über Stary Przybysław (Pribslaff) und Oparzno (Wopersnow) im Abzweig am Jezioro Oparzno (Wopersnower See) zu erreichen. Die südliche Ortsgrenze wird von der Rega gebildet, im Norden liegt die Grenze am Jezioro Klępnicko (Glietziger See). Die nächste Bahnstation befindet sich in Klępnica (Glietzig) an der Bahnstrecke Stargard Szczeciński–Gdańsk.

Geschichte
Südlich des Dorfes Liepz befinden sich im Rega-Bogen Reste eines alten Burgwalls. Im Jahre 1394 wurde das Dorf von der Familie von Wopersnow an den Vogt von Schivelbein verkauft. 1540 kommt es mit dem Amt Schivelbein in den Besitz des Johanniterordens, der ihm im Jahre 1547 das Schulzenamt und Niedergericht verleiht.

1602 hat der Ort ganz oder teilweise zum Amt Karthaus gehört, das 1621 von Lorenz von Wachholz gekauft wird. 1651 ist Liepz im Besitz der Söhne von Wachholz.

Im Jahre 1736 hat Liepz vier Bauern und ist – bis 1808 – dem Mühlenzwang der Schlossmühle Schivelbein unterworfen. 1819 übernimmt die Amtsrätin Konraht die Aufgaben eines Gutsherrn in Liepz. 1884 gibt es keine Bauern mehr im Ort.

Im Jahre 1939 leben in Liepz 120 Menschen in 31 Haushaltungen. Das 726,4 Hektar umfassende Rittergut wurde von Adrian von Borcke bewirtschaftet, zuletzt mit einem Viehbestand von 52 Pferden, 212 Rindern und 180 Schweinen. Das Gut trat durch seine erfolgreiche Remontenzucht und die Haltung von Herdbuchvieh hervor. Je eine Brennerei und Molkerei sorgten für die Verwertung der landwirtschaftlichen Produkte.

Liepz gehörte bis 1945 zum Amts- und Standesamtsbezirk Lankow (polnisch: Łąkowo) im Amtsgerichtsbereich Schivelbein (Świdwin) und lag im Landkreis Belgard (Persante) (Białogard). Bis 1932 hat Liepz zum Landkreis Schivelbein gehört, bis dieser im Landkreis Belgard aufging.

Mit dem Einmarsch der Russen Anfang März 1945 in das Dorf und der im Herbst 1945 einsetzenden Vertreibung der Bevölkerung endete das deutsche Leben in Liepz. Der Ort kam unter dem Namen Lipce in polnische Hand und ist heute ein Teil der Gmina Świdwin im – wieder erstandenen – Kreis Schivelbein.

Kirche
Liepz hatte keine eigene Kirche. Das Dorf war mit Klemzow (polnisch: Klępczewo), Lankow (Łąkowo), Nieder Göhle (Gola Dolna), Ober Göhle (Gola Górna) und Wussow (Osowo) in das Kirchspiel Wopersnow eingepfarrt. Es gehörte zum Kirchenkreis Schivelbein in der Kirchenprovinz Pommern der evangelischen Kirche der Altpreußischen Union. Rittergutsbesitzer Adrian von Borcke hatte zuletzt das Kirchenpatronat für Liepz inne. Letzter deutscher Geistlicher war Pfarrer Kurt Lemke.

Heute gehört Lipce zum Kirchspiel Koszalin (Köslin) in der Diözese Pommern-Großpolen der polnischen Evangelisch-Augsburgischen Kirche.

Hackers should face harsher penalties
Industry panel recommends better deterrence strategy.
By Casey Tonkin on Jul 21 2020 12:49 PM
State-based actors and cyber criminals should face harsher penalties in order to deter malicious cyber activity, a panel of industry experts has told the government.
An industry panel advising the government's forthcoming 2020 Cyber Security Strategy has said cybercrime is currently "low risk and high reward" and wants to see the government implement stronger deterrence measures.
"It is the panel's view that cybercrime is crime and therefore a posture consistent with that should be taken across all aspects of the communications of government, industry, individuals and law enforcement agencies," the report said.
"The relative wealth of Australia makes us a lucrative target for cyber criminals, as demonstrated by the recent high profile attacks.
"Recent incidents demonstrate that sophisticated state actors and their proxies continue to seek access to sensitive information."
Australia has been pegged as one of the world's most targeted countries for cyber crooks – an undesirable position that was expanded on last month when Prime Minister Scott Morrison warned Australian organisations and critical infrastructure were being attacked by "a sophisticated state-based cyber actor".
Since then, the government announced a $1.35 billion spend on cybersecurity to improve Australia's posture.
But the industry panel advising the government on cybersecurity – which is chaired by Telstra CEO Andrew Penn – wants to see a more front-foot approach from the government to complement its bolstered defense.
"Australia should target the profits of cyber criminals and take a stronger approach to confronting state-based actors," said panelist and former secretary of US Homeland Security, Kirstjen Nielsen.
"Malicious actors will continue to target Australia until there are real consequences for bad behaviour."
The panel wants to see government arm law enforcement with betters tools for fighting cybercrime and to create "specialised, cross-jurisdictional and multi-agency teams" specialising in this area of misconduct.
It also recommends the government take a stronger stance on state-based cyber actors, calling for a "more forward leaning posture" when it comes to attribution.
The government has generally been quiet on naming the aggressor when it announces significant cyberattacks.
…we know it's more important than ever that Australia has a strong #CyberSecurity framework. The Strategy will be released in the coming months so expect to hear from us a lot more! 👏
— 2020 Cyber Security Strategy (@AuCyberStrategy) July 21, 2020
A hack on Australia's parliamentary system last year was again the work of an unnamed "sophisticated state actor" – leaving the media and pundits to speculate on who was behind the incident.
Speaking to a media briefing on Tuesday, Nielsen acknowledged that the decision to attribute actions to a specific country is "very complex".
"There is a right time and right way to do it," she said.
"The discussions in the panel were about using attribution as a form of deterrent, along with economic and diplomatic sanctions."
Last week, intelligence agencies from the UK, Canada, and US called out Russia for a recent campaign targeting COVID-19 vaccination research.
The government is still developing its 2020 Cyber Security Strategy and is expecting to hand it down in the coming months.

ADELTE selected by the Port Authority of Melilla to provide two Passenger Boarding Bridges
Barcelona, 3rd January 2007 – ADELTE a world leading designer and manufacturer of passenger boarding bridges for the Cruise and Ferry industries, headquartered in Barcelona, Spain, has recently been awarded a contract by the Port Authority of Melilla to design and manufacture two passenger boarding bridges of the HYDRA range for its passenger terminal 'Estacion Maritima' currently in construction. ADELTE will deliver these bridges in April 2007, just in time for the cruise season and an expected increase of ferry operations.
The HYDRA Passenger Boarding Bridges are selected for its aesthetics, safety, functionality and ease of access as these bridges will connect the second floor of the passenger terminal with either a cruise or ferry vessel whilst allowing a maximum slope of 12%. In addition to increasing the speed of boarding and disembarking of passengers to and from ferry vessels, the boarding bridges will allow access for people with disabilities and will be able to accommodate large cruise ships. The Spanish Port of Melilla is experiencing a boost in ferry traffic and, after having received its first large cruise call in 2005, it hopes to attract more cruise passengers to visit the historical Spanish enclave on the North-African coast.
"Companies and visitors who will be using these passenger boarding bridges at the Estacion Maritima will perceive a considerable elevated level of customer service. This is in line with our current differentiation strategy of providing quality service at the Port of Melilla", said José Luis Almazán Palomino, Director of the Port Authority of Melilla.
The HYDRA passenger boarding bridges will comply with international safety regulations and will be able to accommodate passenger vessels of all sizes. Each bridge will consist of two glass enclosed telescopic ramps and two glass enclosed tunnels that automatically adjusts with the movement of the tide and ship to maintain required slope limitations. With a vertical clearance of 5 meters and a horizontal clearance of 6 meters, the bridges will enable constant truck and equipment traffic underneath its structure. ADELTE has delivered HYDRA range boarding bridges for terminals in the ports of Barcelona (Spain) and Brooklyn (NY, USA) and is also currently constructing HYDRA bridges for the Norfolk (Virginia, USA) and Manhattan cruise terminals (NY, USA).

His view is that there is always room for another voice to speak up for those that cannot speak. Known for his affable and good humoured talks, as an after dinner speaker, club speaker, or simply in conversation, Simon brings his unique story telling gift to motivate others.
"I don't have qualifications in this field, but I do have the unshakeable belief that if we do not act, the only way the future generations will be able to see some of the most amazing and powerful creatures will be through TV shows, and books. For too long man has sat on the side lines of nature, watching it fall apart due to man's selfish needs. We are all guilty of this but, with a little humility and a lot of hard work, we can help repair what we have broken.
Whether it is by supporting those with the knowledge and skills to fix the problems, or to enthuse future generations to consider nature first. I want to be able to look into my son's eyes and know that I tried to help."

About the Libertarian Party
The purpose of the Libertarian Party of Rhode Island is to promote libertarianism as expressed in the Statement of Principles of the Platform of the Libertarian Party of the United States.
The National Libertarian Party platform can be found here.
The Libertarian Party is America's third largest and fastest growing political party. Libertarians engage in a variety of projects, working for everyone's liberty on every issue.
The Libertarian Party was created in December of 1971 by people who realized that the politicians had strayed from America's original libertarian foundation, with disastrous results. Their vision was the same as that of America's founders — a world where individuals are free to follow their own dreams in their own ways; a world of peace, harmony, opportunity, and abundance.
Libertarians are practical; we know we can't make the world perfect. But, it can be better. Libertarians will keep working to create a better, freer society for everyone. As William Allen White said: "Liberty is the only thing you cannot have unless you are willing to give it to others."

Nasikia Migration Camp, we have 8-12 tents that remain mobile throughout the year, depending on seasonal reservation requirements and location of the wildebeest migration. We endeavour to retain the uniqueness and intimacy of the camp, while being directed by the location, wildlife and other factors of responsible tourism.
1 December - 31 March: located at the Small Marsh special campsite, this location has us in the midst of the great wildebeest migration as they graze on the southern Serengeti plains. We are also so, so close as the calving season is in full swing from approximately late January and into February each year.
1 July - 31 October: located at Bologonja, in the far northern areas of the Serengeti. This puts us in a great position to game drive to the Bologonja and Mara Rivers in the hope of gaining a view as the herds run the gauntlets of crocodiles as they cross the rivers. This is typically ideal, especially between mid-July and mid-September each year.


It was functional but water would drip from the ball valve in operation. I suspect people on Youtube thought that my gas was dripping with tar, which wasn't the case. It was also somewhat heavy and I was afraid that the mass of the connections would damage the gasoline carburetor over time due to shaking fatigue.
This has been a superior design based on the small amount of testing I have done so far. The one recommendation I would make is to use some amount of liquid fuel get the gas to the engine inlet as opposed to running the starter excessively. This engine has to turn over twice to pull in the volume of a 12oz Coca-Cola can and there are a lot of "Coke cans" in the volume of that gas hose and final filter housing. Some purists will have issues with this but we are only talking about a carburetor bowl full of gasoline(5-10cc?). Gasoline or ethanol should also be run through the engine at shut down to clear the engine of any moisture and ensure the fuel jets haven't been clogged with soot so it is still a necessity in my mind.
Another option for dealing with moisture is to reheat the gas above the dew point. I haven't tried this approach so I can't comment on it.
This uses an Arduino Uno to control a model airplane servo driving a 1/2″ ball valve. The Arduino receives input from an automotive oxygen sensor. This keeps a correct fuel-air ratio regardless of how the fuel pile changes in the gasifier. These units will be available shortly under the "Get Hardware" menu option.
I had tried various "carburetor" "topologies" too, but actually reverted to something similar to the one in your first picture. The reason was, that when I tried putting the ball valve far away from the generator inlet, it behaved very poorly when load suddenly changed. The RPMs started to oscillate up and down, up and down, and it was almost impossible to fix it even manually. This was all because the air was introduced far away from the inlet and there was a substantial amount of "lag" until it reached the cylinders, and governor couldn't cope with that.
On a side note, I'll be trying to prepare my gasifier for the next winter – want to have it automated. I have a wideband O2 sensor and its controller, which outputs 0-5VDC, but need to convert that to a butterfly valve movement. Was thinking about something Arduino based, unless there's a more simple solution.
I would think a small shot of starting fluid would suffice Stephen, have you tried it?

Apple Watch 4 may have just been certified, suggesting it's coming soon
By James Rogerson 2018-08-20T13:15:07Z Wearables
In six versions
We're expecting to see the Apple Watch 4 this year, potentially as soon as September, and there's now more evidence that it could be coming very soon, as it may have just been listed by the EEC (Eurasian Economic Commission).
While not mentioned by name, model numbers for six unknown 'personal wearable electronic devices' from Apple have been listed and they're apparently running watchOS 5, as we'd expect.
The listing, spotted by Nashville Chatter, includes models A1975, A1976, A1977, A1978, A2007 and A2008.
These model numbers aren't associated with any known Apple Watch. Credit: EEC / Nashville Chatter
Six models isn't many
There's no other information here, but being certified by the EEC suggests they will probably soon be going on sale, so a launch in early September alongside the iPhone 11 is quite likely.
As for the number of listed models, six might sound like a lot, but when you consider that there will presumably be at least two sizes offered and that some may come without LTE or be built from a different material, six doesn't actually leave you with that many variations.
Indeed, if these are all the available models then there might be a smaller selection of Apple Watch 4 options than there is for the Apple Watch 3. We should know more soon.
The Apple Watch 4 might have an edge-to-edge screen

The Instagram account of Maine Mendoza, more popularly known as Yaya Dub of the hit love team AlDub, got hacked. Read more to find out why.
The profile picture and all other photos on the timeline of the online sensation-turned television star were deleted on Tuesday night.
From public, the hacker also switched Maine's account into private.
Alden Richards, her onscreen partner, was the one who revealed that her account was compromised. The actor likewise tracked and exposed the hacker's identity.
Despite being unable to login into her Instagram account, Maine stayed calm and even assured her fans that she is alright.
"Tulog na kayo [You may sleep now], I'm fine," she tweeted.
Her Instagram account, which has 2.2 million followers, remained private as of Thursday morning. However, its description now contains a message of apology from the hacker.
"I will put your email so rest the password, I know I'm wrong, I'm sorry," it reads.
In November 2015, Maine's Twitter account was hacked by Anonymous Philippines in order to promote the Million Mask March.
It is possible that her passwords are easy to guess or clues to it can be found on her posts or profile details.
